ORIGINAL: jcprom -swiss lakes: Konstanz and Leman (no effect on game play unless you invade Switzerland), Noted in my list. But they won't be added now, I keep them for changes done later when we decide to have the Euopean map changed (MWiF2 ?). The first (Lake Constance) is 64 km long 14 km wide. I would place it on the NE hexside of Zurich hex. The later is rather called Lake Geneva and is 73 km long 14 km wide. It is on one of the hexsides of 59,32 of in the hex, it might be a nightmare to add given the hexagonal adaptation of the Swiss border with France. quote:
-lake Balaton in Hungary (no effect on game play except perhaps on last turn), Warranted too. It is 77 km long 14 km wide. It is on the NW hexside of the resource hex. quote:
-lake Zuidersee between Austria and Hungary? (should be checked), I have difficulties finding this one. Is it Lake Neusiedl, SE of Vienna ? If this is it, it is too small to appear on the map on a hexside blocking movement. Also, given the hexagonal adaptation of the Austria / Hungary / Czechoslovakia border at this place, it looks like a nightmare to add too. Probably better left out. quote:
-northern italian lake(s)? (should be checked), The larger of these seems to be Lake Garda, it is situated halfway between Milan & Venice. It is about 50 km long and 16 km wide at its largest. A WiF map hex has an average diameter of 89 km, which means that an hexside has an average length of 51 km. These figures seem to say that this lake would be long enough to be added to the map. I would place it on the W hexside of hex 60,37 (the hex NW of Venice). There is also a reversed Y shapped lake at the Swiss border (Lake Como), but at this place on the WiF map there already is an Alpine hexside. Also, it is said it is only 46 km long. It is too short. There is another lake, Lake Maggiore, east of Lake Como. 66 km long, extending from within Switzerland into Italy. It can be placed on the W hexside of hex 60,35 (the hex NW of Milan). quote:
-lake(s) in east Prussia (if not on the Soviet border, game effect would be very limited), There is a lot of lakes in the south of East Prussia, but none seems to be more than 10-15 km in dimensions. quote:
NB: Elba (NE of Corsica) is Italian, not French. This one is already on my list. Edit : I've added to my list for the future : Lake Constance (Switzerland) Lake Geneva (Switzerland) Lake Balaton (Hungay) Lake Garda (Italy) Lake Maggiore (Italy)
